Die Auffindung von Pyramus und Thisbe is a 1624 paint by Leonaert Bramer, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Gemäldegalerie Berlin.
This painting shows a dark scene with a figure standing over a body on the ground. The standing figure is wearing a long robe and has a flame in their hand. The body on the ground is dressed in a white shirt and brown pants. The painting has a dark and moody atmosphere, with the flame casting shadows on the surrounding area. The use of dark colors and dramatic lighting creates a sense of tension and drama. The painting's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark, adds to the overall mood and atmosphere of the scene.
Leonaert Bramer, also Leendert or Leonard (24 December 1596 – before 10 February 1674 (date of burial)), was a Dutch painter known primarily for genre, religious, and history paintings.
